In a move experts describe as “both ambitious and extremely brick-intensive,” Chilean presidential frontrunner José Antonio Kast announced Sunday that if elected, he will fulfill his campaign promise to construct a 2,650-mile wall along the country’s borders, single-handedly reviving both border security and Chile’s struggling masonry sector.

“This wall is not just a structure, it’s a metaphor for strength, unity, and our constitutional right to keep out people with better ceviche recipes,” Kast declared to a sea of red baseball caps emblazoned with the slogan “Hagamos Chile Grande Otra Vez.” According to campaign officials, the wall will be designed by famed architect Hernán Postizo and constructed by Chilean laborers recently laid off from the country’s shrinking adobe shingle industry.

Kast, 59, a former congressman known for his ultra-conservative tweets and uncanny resemblance to a sentient wax figure of Donald Trump, faces off against Jeannette Jara, whose platform includes slightly less concrete. “Chileans are tired of migrants sneaking across the border to teach us new dance moves and take our lucrative empanada-filling jobs,” said campaign spokesperson María Rocas, before pausing to check if her own family had proper documentation.

Not everyone is convinced. “Frankly, I’m hoping for a small door in the wall, just big enough for my mother-in-law to cross,” said Alberto Ramírez, a Valparaíso resident. Meanwhile, former president Gabriel Boric reportedly muttered, “First the Berlin Wall, now this. At least ours will have better graffiti.”
